Over the past few months, several important offices have changed locations on campus. The Rochester Center for Com- munity Leadership (RCCL), the Career Center, and the Study Abroad offices have moved lo- cations for this academic year. The RCCL office has moved from the fifth floor of Wilson Commons down to the base- ment of Lattimore Hall. Assistant Director for Civic Engagement Jenna Dell said that the basement of Lattimore has its advantages, including more space for professional staff and graduate assistants to engage with the University community. Dell also said that they are particularly excited for “our collaborative student work space and hope that students will find it an inspiring space to enhance their community lead- ership.” As the Career Center head- alyssa arre / Photo editor quarters has moved from Meliora Both the Gwen M.

Thursday, October 3, 2013 campustimes.org / page 7 humor Untitled 1 By Liz Beson Untitled 2 By Liz Beson UR offers new ‘Breaking Bad’ course

by Boris Borovcanin Humor Editor

One of the most controversial courses offered at UR this semester is “Symbolic Analysis of ‘Break- ing Bad,’” taught by the English department. Enrolled students thought they would be analyzing themes and objects that actually had to do with the plot, but on the first day of class, they instead talked about why the ketchup and mustard bottles were both pointing upwards in one of the dinner scenes. Last class, professor Gale Boet- ticher marked up a scene that he thought was the most symbolic of the entire show, explaining how Lydia, Walt, and Todd all wore blue articles of clothing and how Lydia’s was underneath a business suit. Boetticher continued to say that it was a subtle reference to blue meth, and that Lydia’s blue blouse was underneath her suit because she is the most secretive about her true identity.
